[Winston]

Is political correctness robbing Britain of its sence of humour??

After all, what he said was funny, not abusive!!

Thanks Nel!

Win on a good day Andy Gray comes across as an annoying little twat but i don't think what he said is a sacking offence. Football is a male dominated sport so i'm sure Sian massey would have heard a lot worse.....a grovelling apology should have been enough!



Btw up yours Andy Gray, i know the offside rule!!!

[dolly]

It's his own fault. It's not the first time someone caught out on a mike they thought was off...he should keep his comments away from the mike. Can't stand the little plonker anyway, so I'll pass on feeling sorry for him...

[clansman]

the wee baw bag deserved it..arrogant wee plook!

what about his comment to the female presenter, "do you want to put your mic down here" ewwwww meaning his trousers, he is old enough to be her grandfather!! if someone said that to my daughter, he would have the mic has a permanent replacement, for his d!ck

women shouldnt be allowed to officiate at any male sport apart from maybe tennis .......because the men will always complain .....is it worth it ........we aint the same ......women are rubbish and men are the best.....at sport i mean ......keep ya beaks out

Yes sir, three bags full and all that jazz..
theres no place in sport or any other proffesion for the likes of Andy silly old sexist Gray imo..This is 2011 and the world has turned..Why should women have to put up with crap from aging out of date morons? I'm sure this woman has had and will continue to get stupid remarks thrown at her, but the days of men belittling women and patting bums in the workplace have long gone..so get over it you lads and move on...

[Winston]

I think Andy Gray is a great presenter.................Guess I am out voted here!! LOL

I will have to be very careful about what I say to the girls I work with.............But they take it all in fun!!

Sky wanted him out..............PC was a good way of getting their wish!!

[nelix]

Its hardly surprising that sky wanted him out, if his behaviour is anything to go by..he may be a good presenter I wouldnt know, but hes in the public eye and gets paid a heap of money for the previledge..his kind are outdated and not wanted..

[Guest]

damn.... my comment didnt get the reaction i was hoping for .....ok ....lets try another tack .........women cant drive and should be tied to the sink barefoot and pregnant seriously though....Grays behaviour was appalling ......it would of made me feel uncomfortable if i was there .......hes a 70's throwback ....im sure his millions will help him thru this rough time .

[Winston]

I have read more since the original post!!

Seems it wasn't just this incident, I guess i was wrong in this instance!!.........A joke about a female lineswoman not understanding the 'Offside rule' is, in my opinion, funny!!

But there was much more to it than that!!.........An accumilation of bad behaviour towards Women!!

I concede!

[Guest]

i did post a link in my previous post to the other incident wins
